Hard work after winning the lottery

"Sister! Brother-in-law!" Hua An greeted them.

"Is this a baby potato?"

Hua Yun leaned closer to look at the little guy.

The little potato looks exactly like Hua An.

It has a round head, round eyes, and slightly dark skin, giving it a robust appearance.

At this moment, he was staring at the large group of well-dressed strangers in front of him with his big, curious eyes.

It also had a pacifier in its mouth, making "smacking" sounds from time to time.

At this moment, Nuannuan got out of the car.

Today she wore a light yellow tracksuit and carried a water bottle with a little yellow duck on her back.

Nuannuan walked up to Hua'an, looked up at the creature being held in her uncle's arms.

Little Potato also stopped sucking on the pacifier and stared wide-eyed at the pretty older sister.

Eyes wide open.

The air froze for three seconds.

Nuannuan tilted her head.

Little Potato tilted his head too.

Nuannuan blinked.

Little Potato blinked too.

Suddenly, Nuannuan reached into her little pocket, which was always full of treasures, and started rummaging around.

He pulled out a bear-shaped cookie that had been warmed up a bit.

Then, standing on tiptoe, he handed the cookie to Little Potato.

"Give."

Concise and concise.

The little potato paused for a moment.

But his foodie instincts kicked in instantly.

He spat out the pacifier with a "pfft," stretched out his chubby little black hand, and grabbed the biscuit.

Without hesitation, I stuffed it into my mouth.

"Click."

It was chewed up.

The sweetness spread in my mouth.

The little potato smiled.

That smile was incredibly healing; his eyes narrowed into slits, revealing a few baby teeth that hadn't fully grown in yet.

He reached out his hand to Nuannuan, mumbling something indistinctly:

"elder sister!"

That one "sister" made Nuannuan's heart flutter with joy.

She was the youngest in her family and was always being looked after by her older brothers.

Now, she's the older sister!

She has a younger brother now!

From then on, a magical scene unfolded in the courtyard of Baixi Village.

Wherever Nuannuan goes, a little tail always follows behind her.

Nuannuan ran, and Little Potato stumbled and fell in pursuit.

Nuannuan stopped to look at the ants, and Little Potato lay down next to her to watch as well, even trying to catch them with his hands.

If you fall.

The two exchanged a glance.

Then, with a "waah," the duet began to cry.

After crying, Nuannuan gave Little Potato a cookie, and he immediately stopped crying and started laughing. The two of them then continued running around like nothing had happened.

On this day, Great-Grandpa Hua Mutou was in a great mood.

The old man was still in good health, holding an old pipe that had been polished until it shone with oil (although Grandma Hua forbade him to smoke, it didn't stop him from using it to show off), and walked ahead with his hands behind his back.

"Come on! Grandpa will take you to see the big treasure!"

Old Master Zhou Yinchuan, also wearing a straw hat, followed beside him: "Hey, Old Hua, what's so great about your sheep? They're not as impressive as the horses of my cavalry company back in the day."

"What do you know!" Hua Mutou glared at him. "This is our family's treasure trove!"

Nuannuan held onto her great-grandfather's clothes with one hand and held Little Potato's hand, who could already walk quite steadily, with the other.

The group of people made their way up to the Western Hills.

When we arrived at the sheep farm, the scene was indeed spectacular.

Black goats roam the hillsides, some grazing, some fighting, their bleating echoing everywhere.

Nuannuan had been here before, but she was too young then and had long forgotten.

Seeing so many living, furry creatures, she felt both excited and scared.

She hid behind Hua Mutou's legs, only peeking out her little head.

Just then.

A newborn lamb, probably mistaking Nuan Nuan for one of its own kind, curiously approached her.

The wet nose sniffed at the warm little hands.

"call--"

A puff of hot air hit my hand.

"what!"

Nuan Nuan screamed in fright, like a startled little rabbit, and took two steps back.

It crashed directly into Si'an behind it.

"I'm scared!"

Si'an quickly crouched down to protect her younger sister: "It's okay, it's okay, that's a little lamb, it likes you."

"Do you like it?"

Nuannuan peeked out from her brother's arms and looked timidly at the little lamb.

The lamb didn't attack her. Instead, it stood still, looking at her with its gentle eyes, and softly bleated, "Baa~".

Nuannuan blinked her eyes.

It seems... kind of cute?

It doesn't have fangs either?

Encouraged by her brothers, she mustered her courage and held up one finger.

Trembling.

I poked the lamb's head.

Soft.

It's warm.

And it feels amazing to the touch!

"Wow!"

Nuannuan's eyes lit up.

The fear vanished instantly.

She stretched out both hands and ruffled the lamb's head, turning the freshly straightened wool into a mess.

"Sheep! That's fun!"

When Little Potato saw his sister getting started, he couldn't be outdone.

This kid is even more reckless.

He rushed over, grabbed the lamb by the neck, and opened his mouth to bite it.

They probably wanted to see if this thing tasted like cookies.

The little lamb bleated in fright, broke free from the clutches, and ran away.

That night.

Nuannuan can't even sleep peacefully.

I keep talking about it in my dreams.

"Sheep...white...soft..."

When Hua Yun covered her with a blanket, she heard this sleep-talking and chuckled, tapping her nose: "You only find it cute now. But when you drink mutton soup tomorrow, you'll probably eat it with more relish than anyone else."

These past few afternoons, the most common sight in the Zhou family courtyard has been two old men playing chess.

Zhou Yinchuan and Hua Mutou.

The two players were evenly matched in chess; it was a typical duel between two "bad chess players".

But they still insist on putting on the airs of a national champion.

The fight was fierce and evenly matched, with spittle flying everywhere.

"Pawn! Pawn! You old fool!" Zhou Yinchuan slapped his thigh.

"What do you know! I call this luring the enemy deep into my territory!" Hua Mutou retorted, not to be outdone.

however.

This epic showdown is often interrupted by two uncontrollable factors.

That is—Nuannuan and Little Potato.

These two little ones have woken up from their afternoon nap, which is when they are at their most energetic.

Seeing their two great-grandfathers playing with those round wooden blocks, they also felt the urge to join in.

While Zhou Yinchuan was deep in thought about his next move, they took advantage of the moment.

A small, white, and tender hand reached out silently.

That's Nuannuan.

She took a liking to the red "handsome" one.

I think this character is the biggest and most imposing.

then.

With lightning speed, she grabbed the "handsome" man and held him tightly in her hand.

"Hey hey hey! Where did my handsomeness go?! Where did my handsomeness go?!"

Zhou Yinchuan lowered his head, and the chessboard was now leaderless.

I turned my head and looked.

His great-granddaughter was smiling sweetly at him, holding up the chess piece: "Great-Grandpa! Great! For Great-Grandpa!"

Zhou Yinchuan's anger, which had just risen, was instantly extinguished by that smile.

"Oh, my sweetheart is so filial, she knows her great-grandfather is the most handsome!"

This flattery is completely illogical.
